 * I have a website at example.com. I have a WP installation at example.com/blog/.
   I want to keep the blog part of the site at example.com/blog/ and have the static
   pages display in the root (i.e., example.com/about-me/ or example.com/about/blog/).
 * Any and all help is appreciated!

 * Could use the static front page options in [Administration](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels)
   > [Settings](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Reading) > [Reading](http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel)

 * Maybe I should clarify. I want to use one WordPress installation and want to 
   have my own index.php homepage, with the WP pages appearing in the root directory
   and the blog posts appearing at example.com/blog/permalinkhere/etc/etc/.

 * Could use two install to do that, but again, the static front page options will
   also do that with just one install.
 * Install WordPress in a folder called wordpress, use the technique of [Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory).
   Create a Page called Blog, create a Page called Home. Then in Settings->Reading
   make Blog be your Posts Page, make Front be your Front Page.

 * **[@michaelh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/):** I’m already using
   two installations and it’s driving me crazy going back and forth between the 
   two. Heh. I also want things a bit better organized.
 * Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like that’s pretty close to what I want but
   not quite it. I’ll have to play around with it a bit.
 * If anyone else has done something similar to what I need, could you give me some
   suggestions?
